TRAVELLING IN TIME

TRAVELLING IN TIME



This week I was asked whether I’d like to travel in time. I said I would but only under two conditions. First, I’d have to be rich as life is generally brutish if poor. And second, I’d only travel back in time; I struggle enough in the present day with technology so I don’t want to struggle even more in the future, plus I know how the past ends!

After some deliberation, I told my friend that there are three periods of time I’d be very happy to go back in time to visit.

My first time-travel visit would be watching President John F Kennedy in The White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis. This crisis lasted 13 days from the 16th to the 28th October in 1962. The Soviet Union was deploying nuclear missiles in America’s back yard, Cuba. America was committed to preventing Soviet nuclear weapons within easy striking distance getting to Cuba. There was a very tense stand-off but an agreement was reached between America and the Soviet Union.

Arguably the Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world has ever come to a world nuclear war. As a result of this crisis, a hotline was established to allow for direct communication between the American president and Soviet premier to minimise misunderstandings. While in The White House, I may have got to meet Marilyn Monroe even though I’m an Audrey Hepburn man!

My second time-travel visit would go back to the 1920s, the so-called Roaring Twenties. I would be a flapper girl. Flappers were young women who challenged traditional norms of acceptable behaviour for women in America and Europe. Flappers wore short skirts, had bobbed hair, wore make-up, drank alcohol, had sex, smoked cigarettes, drove cars, rode bicycles, travelled around the world, danced to jazz music, and wore pants.

Basically flappers had a good time! I would be very happy to be Daisy Buchanan portrayed in F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby book. As a slapper, sorry flapper, I could then see what sex is like for a woman. This time-travel visit is all about research!

My third time-travel visit would be to Ancient Rome as a courtier to Caligula who ruled the Roman Empire from 12AD to 41AD. Though Emperor Caligula doesn’t have a good reputation because of his alleged tyranny, cruelty, vanity, excess and insanity, he did hold wild orgies - well, that’s what the films say!

If a member of Caligula’s Praetorian Guard was to deliver me an invitation to one of his orgies, I think it would be rude to decline the invitation. Someone has to feast, drink lots, dance wildly, behave badly and have lots of sex!

If you could time-travel, would you go backward or forward in time?
If backward in time, what period of time, where and who?
If forward in time, what will you find?


One of the best non-fiction books I’ve read was on the Cuban Missile Crisis. Graham Allison wrote a brilliant book on the crisis, Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis, published in 1971. There is a later edition published in 1999, co-written with Philip Zelikow, which includes new material as a result of documents not available at the time of when the first edition was published. But the first edition, in my opinion and like for most books, is the best edition.

Bonjour Spunky
Si je devais voyager dans le temps , j'aimerais aller au temps des mégalithes pour comprendre pourquoi et comment des hommes on fait tout cela
La crise de Cuba est trop angoissante
Etre une fille, ça me plais et je le fait
Vivre au temps de Caligula , j'aurais trop peur d'être moins bien traité que son cheval
♥ Poton ♥ Bisou ♥ Annie ♥


Hello Spunky
If I were to travel back in time, I would go to the time of the megaliths for understand why and how men are made all this
The Cuban crisis is too scary
Being a girl, I like it and I do it
Live in the time of Caligula, I'd be too afraid of being treated less favorably than his horse
♥ Kiss ♥ Annie ♥

If you could time-travel, would you go backward or forward in time? Back!
If backward in time, what period of time, where and who? To the critical times of the creation of the three major religions originating in the middle east. Can you guess what I would do?
If forward in time, what will you find? I think had It been possible to do what I would have, then it would be a far more peaceful and advanced culture in the future even from way back then.

If backward in time, what period of time, where and who? I think the 50's or 60's. I would take a book (s) with me of sporting events and successful inventions . Possibly make a few dollars

I didn't start collecting until the mid-70s. I have all their albums when they were re-released then.

I would go forward in time to where technology has solved all the world's problems.

If I had to go back, I think I would enjoy the Wild American West. Perhaps before it became "American".

Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

If you could time-travel, would you go backward or forward in time? Back, definitely back.

If backward in time, what period of time, where and who? I would go back as Gala, wife, business manager and muse of Salvador Dali. To the time in 1929 when she met Dali and their affair began. They were married in 1934 and had pretty open marriage. What's not to like!

If forward in time, what will you find? Who wants to go forward when there're such wonders in the past!

I'd go backward, I think.

If backward in time, what period of time, where and who?
I think my first choice would be seventeenth century England and the Civil War. Once the king and the Church of England lost their grip on power there was an explosion of pent up thought and sexual debauchery. I'm sure I'd have been a Ranter and Digger.

If forward in time, what will you find?
I'm sure I wouldn't know what it was even if I were looking at it. But I have an idea that upon inspection it would turn out to more of the same old shit.

Playing the stock market, if travelling back in time, is one sure way of getting super-rich!

I think more than a historian is needed to understand how men behave, perhaps with a psychologist, biologist, anthropologist, sociologist, psychiatrist and an idiot may we begin to know about men!

No seriously, that would be a great time to travel back to. Different religions can get on but ...!

You make a great point which I often forget. Times have changed and times are more tolerant, though there's still some way to go. The past was intolerant which I guess is why I wanted to travel back in time as a rich white man!

The 1950s sounds great time to go back to, but I'd choose the late rather than the earliy 1950s. Food rationing was still around here then!

It's temting to travel back to the 1950s and 1960s though if it's the 1950s I'd go to America and if the 1960s maybe Britain.

You are an optimist with future technology. I see technology in terms of control, surveillance and punsihment!

I'm only just beginning to appreciate what the Beatles did now fiftyy-plus years later! I was a Stones man not that there's need for that Beatles/Stones dichotomy!

Going back to 1929 with Salvador Dali sounds great!
